About me

I'm Corey, I'm a GM of over 10 years, who joined in with tabletop roleplaying games just as Critical Role began. I enjoy running games that tell cool stories, have big narratives with creative stories, and exciting characters. I've played numerous indie tabletop games after largely moving on from D&D. I'm the G in 2SLGBTQ+ and I like to play games in spaces that are friendly and welcoming. I can't wait to tell a great story together :)

GM Style

If you play with me, you can expect: - Questions that invite you to fill in the blanks and shape the story - Opportunities to choose which scene you want to explore when it's your turn in the spotlight - Low-prep sessions that keep things flexible and easy - A blend of director's voice (setting the scene), author's voice (crafting your story), and character voice (describing your character's actions) throughout our gameplay - Follow-up questions that dig into the who, what, and why behind your choices - Using cool tech like One More Multiverse or Demiplane to enhance our experience You can expect to not see any of these: - Goal-less fights where every side just goes until death - In game music (bring your own playlist, I will be 😉!) - Rude behaviour or unwelcoming attitudes (if it happens with someone because they're new, it's only happening once!)

Corey is really patient, and has been cool and understanding for new players and for veteran players that are verbose. :)

Corey is a kind and inclusive GM who fostered a fun and supportive atmosphere for our party very quickly. Really enjoyed my first play- through of Daggerheart thanks to Corey! I have found that you can tell a lot about a gm's style from the sort of players they have, and Corey's are so lovely!

I joined in late and was very welcomed, the atmosphere was wonderful and they integrated me perfectly into the game. Corey brought is together like a well tuned orchestra, while letting us the choice where to steer the game.

My first game as a player with Corey is still one of my favorites years later! They’re great at bringing in and building on player’s ideas, and making personal arcs (and spontaneous antics) connect to the larger world. I’d gladly play with him again anytime!

Corey ran multiple excellent games of Burning Wheel. Truly knew the rules forward and backward, and helped us learn the system and feel comfortable with the world. They also made the game a safe space for exploration of self.
